BJ Drew at the Tri-State Cagefighting

My good friend and CrossFit Lincoln sponsored athlete, BJ Drew, fought at the Tri-State Cagefights on Saturday night. He totally dominated the fight and won by unanimous decision. He is a testament to what CrossFit can do for your strength and cardio. Congrats to BJ. You won't see me in the ring anytime soon but I'll be training BJ for his next fight!

Winter Series Trail Run

The first trail run of the year was on January 10 and the deep snow made the run very challenging. Luckily, the snowshoes had packed a trail but the trail was still slippery and deep in some places. I felt strong for most of the race but took a wrong turn at around mile 3 and lost the lead. There was no way that I could catch the guy who passed me so I ended up finishing second. Time was not the focus on this run as the snow and slippery trail made the pace very slow. Either way, the legs were burning by the finish line and the heart was racing. I'm looking forward to the winter trail series and the preparation for the Lincoln Half-Marathon.
